2020届临沂市实验中学高三英语期中试卷及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AI started working with my hands at a young age. The youngest of five brothers, I took on the role as a “maintenance (维修) man” at an early age for our family’s small grocery store. Often my dad wouldn’t give me a clear idea of how something shouldbe done, so I just had to figure it out by researching or through trial and error.Fast forward to 2016 and those problem-solving skills would become the focus of Tippecanoe High School’s Homebuilding class. I knew I wanted to teach the students skills that went beyond just being able to hammer nails or cut pieces of two-by-fours. The problem was that we didn’t have the resources at the time to do much else. The idea of attracting some type of funding seemed very important. Designing, building and selling a tiny house on wheels seemed like the perfect project to accomplishthe task. I reached out to a number of local businesses and most of them responded with the greatest support for what x k w we were doing.This year we added a new element to the program. Through one of our partners, we were able to connect with the nonprofit Veteran’s Ananda Incorporated. Students in the Homebuilding class are leading the design and production of micro houses to be donated to this organization. The new partnership gives the students another focus to consider when designing and building the houses.There has been no shortage of students since our first year. Three years ago we had 41 students, the next 191, and this year it was limited to just over 160 students so we could have a safe and manageable classroom environment. The number of girls taking the class has risen steadily over the last few years as well. This class offers something for everyone and the skills are universal.1. How can we describe the young author?A. He opened a small grocery store.B. He did a lot of research in the lab.C. He enjoyed doing hands-on activities.D. He learnt about maintenance from his father.2. What do the underlined words “the task” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Getting some financial support.B. Selling a tiny house on wheels.C. Reaching out to many local businesses.D. Offering the students some problem-solving skills.3. What can be inferred about the Homebuilding class from the last paragraph?A. Its size needs increasing.B. Itis popular with the students.C. It has caused some safety concerns.D. Its classroom environment is hard to manage.BA man in Indonesia is walking backwards for 435 miles. He's making the trip to encourage the government and others to value and protect Indonesia's rainforests.Medi Bastoni is 43 years old. He is an Indonesian. Indonesia is a large country in the world formed by a group of islands. There are over 16, 000 islands there，and most of them are covered with rainforests. But on Java, where Mr. Bastoni lives, far more forests have been cleared.Mr. Bastoni believes it's important to protect forests from being cut down, and to restore (恢复) them when they have been destroyed. Near his home, Mount Wilis is now being restored, but Mr. Bastoni wants to make the protection continue. That's how he came up with the idea of the 435-mile walk.And walking backwards? Mr. Bastoni wants Indonesians to look back at their past. Walking backwards is a good way to get attention. Right now, Mr. Bastoni's backward walk is pretty big news in Indonesia.Mr. Bastoni is wearing a frame(框架)that supports a large mirror in front of him, above his head. This allows Mr. Bastoni to look behind him while walking backwards. Besides, Mr. Bastoni is carrying a backpack with some clothes and a little food. He is planning on buying more meals from restaurants along the way. He has been sleeping at police stations, security posts, and even strangers homes during the trip. His plan is to cover about 19 miles a day. In early August he was in Sragen -- about 100 miles from his home. It's not clear whether Mr. Bastoni is still on track to arrive in Jakarta by August 17.4. What do we know about rainforests in Indonesia?A. Indonesia has the largest area of rainforests in the world.B. The loss of rainforests is getting serious on Java.C. The islands there are all covered by rainforests.D Local people pay great attention to rainforests.5.

To allow Mr. Bastoni to look forwards easily.D. To help Mr. Bastoni enjoy views on the road.7. What can be the best title for the text?A. The difficulty of protecting rainforests in Indonesia.B. The importance of rainforests to Indonesia.C. A trip to recall history and attract attention.D. A walking backwards trip to save rainforests.CCoke was introduced by the Coca Cola company in 1886, making it a rather true andtested favorite of generations of people in over 200 countries. This list should give you some ideas on how to get more from your coke than usual.. Coca Cola is an excellent rust buster (除锈剂). If you have a bunch of small rusty objects, put them in coke overnight and give them a goodscrubin the morning. Coke helps to break down the rust, making cleaning much easier. Be sure to throw out the used coke when you are done with it or you might be taking a trip to the doctor.. Like the previous item, the citric acid (柠檬酸) in coke makes for an excellent window cleaner. This is especially useful for car windows. Pour a can of coke over the window and rub the window, then wipe it off with a wet cloth to remove any sugary matter from the sugar in the drink. As coke is fullof sugar, you should clean the sticky matter off the window glasses, or it will be not a cleaner but a dirt.. For those of you who live in areas where skunk (臭鼬) smells can be an issue from time to time, one can of coke added to water with detergent (清洁剂) really helps to break the smell down. If you have been sprayed, stand in the shower and cover yourself from head to toe with coke — wait for a few minutes, then wash yourself with a shower. Coke is an excellent hair treatment so you get two tips for the price of one with this item!. Pots can sometimes get black on the bottom. The black is almost impossible to remove; this is caused byover-cooking. To remove the black and renew your pot, pour in a can of coke (or as much as you need to cover the blackened area by an inch) and put it on the stove on a low heat. After an hour or so, wash the pot as normal.8. What does the underlined word “scrub”in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Start.B. Cleaning.C. Shake.D. Example.9. What is important while using coke to clean car windows?A. Use a dry cloth.B. Rub the window lightly.C. Don’t pour too much coke.D. Clean the sugary matter thoroughly.10. For which purpose does coke have to be mixed with other material?A. To get rid of the black on the pot.B. To breakdown the rust,C. To remove smells.D. To clean windows.11. What type of writing is this text?A. An advertisement.B. A review.C. A news report.D. A practical guide.DWhen a United Kingdomsupermarket chain promised to move its farms to Net Zero by 2030, it made it clear that the effort would require working on many different fronts. From energy consumption and land - use change to methane emissions (甲烷排放), cattle farming comes with environmental challenges. So even if recent studies suggesting it's possible to cut methane emissions 80% do turn out to be accurate, there's still a very long way to go for most cattle farming to get anywhere close to truly net zero.Organic Valley, when producing milk, might be closer to that goal. It made headlines in 2019 by going 100% renewable (可再生的). Now the company is expanding on that tradition by starting a major loan initiative (贷款计划) to help its farm suppliers adopt renewable energy too.Created with Clean Energy Credit Union, the $ 1 million loan fund will deliver loans at below - marketrates. Specifically, the money will be made available to Organic Valley's 1, 700 farmer members, and can be used for a variety of projects.“We are focused on a whole systems approach to renewable energy, and I'm excited to launch this energy loan fund. From the farm to the shelf, I see renewable energy playing a bigger role in organic food,” said Bob Kirchoff, Organic Valley CEO.“Organic Valley is already helping to protect the environment through organic farming practices, and now they re going one step further by supporting the introduction of renewable energy projects for their farmer members,” said Blake Jones, volunteer board chair of Clean Energy Credit Union. “In addition to the environmental benefits, we re eager to help family farmers throughout the world to lower their energy costs.”The world is not short of examples of farmers innovating in the field of renewable energy. What's encouraging about Organic Valley's announcement is the idea of a national brand putting its marketing and financing weight behind such efforts and, hopefully, creating consumer demand that pushes the rest of the industry in this direction too.12. What does paragraph 1 indicate about going net zero for cattle farming?A It is not easy to achieve B. It is common in the UKC. It is an impractical goalD. It meets no challenges13. What is Organic Valley's tradition according to the text?A. Helping farm suppliersB. Using renewable energyC. Having a loan initiativeD. Making headlines annually14. What is Organic Valley's initiative mainly intended to do?A. Reform organic farming practicesB. Make use of environmental benefitsC. Help farmers decrease energy costsD. Shrink the group of farmer members15. What is the author's attitude towards Organic Valley's initiative?A. WorriedB. DoubtfulC. AmbiguousD.

山东省临沂市蒙阴县实验中学高一七选五专题英语测试(附答案)How to find purpose in lifeIf you’re asking yourself, “What is my purpose?” you’re not alone. One study showed that just25 % of American adults say they have a clear sense of purpose. If you’re part of the other 75%, follow these tips to get started on finding purpose and meaning in life.Create a personal vision statementA personal vision statement can help you manage stress and find balance in your life. It serves as a road map that will guide you toward your purpose by identifying (识别) your core value and establishing what’s important to you. A purpose statement makes it easier for you to make decisions in accordance with your valued. ___1___Explore your passionsYour passions and interests are a good indicator of the area in which your life purpose might lie. ___2___ They’re so deeply fixed in our ways of thinking that we can become blind to them. If you’re not sure what your passions are, ask the people who know you best. Likely, you’re already pursuing them in some way without even realizing it.Give backGiving back can enhance your sense of meaning and purpose in life. This means that when you help others, you also help yourself. ___3___ You might want to volunteer in your local community or donate your money or skills to a cause that resonates (共鸣) with you. Or try spreading a little happiness by performing random acts of kindness.Turn your pain into purpose___4___ Overcoming these challenged shapes who we become and gives us our unique strengths and perspective. Many people ask for help when struggling to overcome a major life change. Some later find their purpose in helping others facing similar struggle to those they have overcome. Some choose a career working directly with people, such as a social worker. Others find ways to touch the lives of others through the arts, such as writing. ___5___A．We all face struggles in life.B．Look for ways to be of service.C．But they can be hard to identify.D．Finding purpose in life can sometimes be hard.E．You may even discover your purpose through them.F．How you transform your pain into purpose is up to you.G．It also helps you stay motivated as you work toward your personal goals.We all have to make decisions all the time, and we have an abundance of choices, ranging from tiny issues to vital ones. Unfortunately, people often find it hard to make decisions. ___6___ If you would like to improve your skill of decision making, here are four suggestions for you.Don't expect to have it all.___7___ You can't order every delicious dish on the menu. And there will be paths not taken, careers not chosen, to name a few. You can imagine some “what if" situations if you must, but do not let them take up too much space in your brain.___8___It's often good to think through your decisions. But don't overdo it. Research can reach a point where returns begin to reduce, which makes it confusing more than clarifying. Many good decisions can be made based as much on intuition (直觉) as on careful assessment of endless data.Don't delay making decisions.Yes, there is a time to put off making a decision. Perhaps you need more information. ___9___ Or it's likely that you wait for a less stressful time. Just don't wait so long that the decision is made by your own indecisiveness (犹豫不决).Don't be hard on yourself.You decide to go on a voyage. You choose an expensive liner. Everything should work out just right. Only you didn't expect an illness that ran around on the ship, making you and your family sick for five days.___10___But please remember it is unavoidable sometimes.A．Don't spend too much time thinking.B．It is an important source of information.C．You may regret making such a stupid decision.D．Don't count on emotion to make decisions.E．Maybe you wish to ask your advisor for help.F．Decisions force us to give up something.G．That means the skill of good decision-making is really important.Snowkiting, is a unique way of flying kites. You will glide (滑行) on the snow, fly the kite with you, and be pulled along the ground, uphill and even into the air.____11____ Hang gliding and kite boarding are among them. They’re all extreme sports and you may be injured by a slight mistake and the unpredictable weather while doing these sports.____12____Almost all of the extreme sports can be categorized (归类) into three main types; Air, Land and Water. These sports are often popular in young adults. And they’re all very risky.One reason why people enjoy these sports are that they are not normally played. The athletes have to operate and show their skills in free-flowing natural environment. ____13________14____ The athletes are fully exposed to direct danger. They want to push their limits again and again, so they try to control the regular instincts (本能) in the highest pressure scenario (场景) while doing extreme sports. The athletes enjoy the process. When they succeed at last, they will achieve a large amount of satisfaction.Many people think that all the satisfaction and joy you get from extreme sports is not worthy of the risk. ____15____A．Many people are tired of boring life in modern times.B．Actually, there’re lots of kite flying sports.C．However, that doesn’t change the athletes’ love for the extreme sports.D．Excitement is another factor in people’s interest for extreme sp orts.E．So more and more people will love these extreme sports in the future.F．Using the law of physics is really important.G．So why do people like extreme sports?Everyone makes countless choices every day. ___16___ For instance, when hunger strikes, you can reach for a nutritious snack good for your health, or junk food which may contribute to fatness. Then how do you make choices? If you’re interested in living a richer, fuller life, there is a foundation which you can base all your decisions on, so that you can make life better not only for yourself, but also for those around you. ___17___ Imagine if every parent, mate, friend, teacher, businessman, and politician truly did their best to choose what’s best for all in every decision they made, we would certainly live in a more caring, supportive world.“But how do I know what is really best?” you might ask. The answer is simple. It doesn’t matter. ___18___ What matters is that whatever decision you make, you should choose with a sincere desire for what’s best for all. Even if it later turns out that you have made a bad choice, there’s no need for guilt (愧疚). With a clear heart, you may stay clear and open. ___19___ Probably next time you’ll achieve a satisfactory outcome.However, choosing what’s best d oes not mean you have to always sacrifice (牺牲) yourself for others. It’s typical of a mother to sacrifice for her kids. However, an overly tired mother may get annoyed easily. ___20___ Yet in the long run, it can help her to be a better mother to her children. So as you move through each day of your lives, remember to take account of yourselves as you choose what’s best.A．This may make you feel guilty about your choice.B．A working mother can’t balance career and family.C．This foundation is to choose base d on what’s best.D．Some rest for this mother might seem not selfless.E．This then allows you to more easily learn from your mistakes.F．And every choice you make, however big or small, affects you in some way.G．What matters is not the choice you make, but the intention behind your choice.With the rapid development of technology, people’s pace of life has sped up. But not everyone enjoys the fast pace of life. Often, the more tightly people schedule their tasks, the more likely they are to lose their original direction and fail to see the real meaning of life. ____21____First of all, the fast pace of life makes a person feel too tired to stay sharp.
